I grew up with this game, I love it to death but this is one of the worst ports I've ever played. It took me 2 hours and 40 minutes of gameplay alone to complete the first Grand Prix. First you need to boot the config file to actually make the game look playable on a modern monitor. It has ultrawide support too. I would continuously get to race 4 in the Chao cup and lap 2/3 or 3/3 it would crash and Id have to …

best sonic racing game, better than sonic racing crossworlds

Very fun party game. It's like Mario Kart, but with Sonic characters instead, which makes it objectively better.

While the game itself is incredible, this port is a bit iffy. For the most part, this version runs perfectly fine and works great but for some reason, the game crashes after 1 cup. If you play more than 1 cup in one sitting, halfway through the second cup, your game crashes. Not sure why this happens, it didn't happen on my previous laptop so this might be a windows 11 issue. Either way, still an incredible game and …

Critics, per Wikipedia
The game received mostly positive scores. IGN gave both the console and DS versions 8/10 each, calling it 'a clone that gets it right.' GameSpot also gave it 8/10, praising its responsive controls and excellent track design. Kotaku called it a competent racer which evokes fond memories, although laments that the tracks and music selection don't delve as deep into Sega lore as the character roster. GameTrailers gave the game 8.0 as well, praising its track design and addictive gameplay. GamesMaster gave the game 83% for the console versions and 70% for the DS version, calling it 'the best kart racer on 360/PS3, but not quite the Mario Kart-beater we hoped for'. Nintendo Power gave the Wii…

The first of the franchise, bare-bones and without multiplayer. Poor gameplay. Garfield Kart - Furious Racing (2019). Good enough if really on budget. The remake, with multiplayer and proper joypad support. While it does not have anything fancy nor refined graphics and mechanics, it's a viable subpar clone of the classic Mario…

From the character and level selection variety, to the mission mode to the better balance of items and seemingly lack of rubberbanding.

positive · AI labelView post →2026 - 113 Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing (Wii) The last game I played for the RetroAchievements Wii event! It’s not *as* good as I remember (and not just cause I’m playing an inferior port) but this is still a solid Mario Kart competitor honestly
neutral · AI labelView post →played this since the wii, and its still so fun to play
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the only sonic game i played growing up was Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie (we got it because banjo kazooie nuts & bolts was fav game at the time). I played as Opa Opa all the time in that game i was obsessed with them. Thing. I had no idea what it was still dont.
neutral · AI labelView post →i know it's a sixteen year old game by now and is therefore older than Sonic Racing Crossworld's target audience in its entirety but I don't know how I feel about them basically selling the first Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing game's gimmick back to you with a shitty multiverse soy veneer on it
negative · AI labelView post →Both games happen to be only $5 so I jumped on that opportunity. I'm way more familiar with Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing than Transformed but I haven't played either game in years so it'll be some re-learning on both games for me.
neutral · AI labelView post →#RandomGameSaturday Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie (X360/PS3/PC) What a mouthful! This felt like SEGA’s true first attempt to make a Mario Kart competitor. And it’s good! The sequel game refines the gameplay further. Also, Banjo is in more racing games than 3D platformers. Hmm.
positive · AI labelView post →Pretty good, I'd say this game has better physics than Racing Transformed. Beware though, since this game is quite old, you may have to tweak some settings to get it to run on your machine. Be sure to set your audio playback bitrate to 24 bit, 4800hz (Studio Quality) as anything higher will not work!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Whenever I got bored with horror games (...which the recent ones are nothing but only copy and paste of one or several styles with simply just different title, yet the same mechanism over and over again...), sometimes I change genre by enjoying pedal-to-the-metal fun to the max of any kind of racing games. Ranging from those simply for the kids (yet some adults still play it discreetly though they won't admit it, wink-wink!) to the very detailed and realistically complex made for grown-ups.…

I remember owning this for the Wii 10+ years ago, but didn't remember much about it going in initially. To start, there are 3 main game modes Grand Prix is pretty straight forward, race through 4 tracks in a cup and have the most points at the end to win. Three difficulties in Beginner Advanced and Expert, all affecting how aggressive the bots are. Regardless of difficulty I never had issues with the bots as even…

neutral · AI labelView post →ok, i mean, this is a very cool game, and a very good kick start to the sonic racing series. but i would recommend transformed or any newer racing game than this, unless you really want it. the game is notoriously unoptimized and buggy on modern pcs, and lag can just crash the whole engine and loop the same frame 1 second ago over and over again. the great example of this is sunshine tour. the game itself is awesome, but its very buggy on modern devices. if you are somehow on windows 7 or any…
